[Linux-7110-psion] Experiences NetBook and Linux

[-=/ p. /=- <mic...@we...>]

Hello,

I've got the chance to sell my 5mx and buying an used NetBook instead.
Bevor I'll buy the "Katze im Sack" some short questions:

1) is it easier to use Linux on a NetBook than on a 5mx? (I got Debian =
today and so I hope to create my partitions on my CF-card soon)

2) The reason for buying a NetBook is not only its style ;-) but the =
possibility to use WLAN-cards. Unfortunaly my university requires a =
VPN-client to get access to our WLAN (the use of WLAN on the campus is free =
- uhm I mean educational use...) Has someone already used:
- EPOC + NetBook + WLAN + VPN-Client (I don't think, that there is a client =
for EPOC)
- Linux + NetBook + WLAN + VPN
(As you can guess, I would like to hear something like *hey phil, running a =
vpn-client under Linux is tricky to install, but possible. Here's my =
experience [...]'

3) In some of the last postings I read that it seems to be a bit difficult =
to install Linux on a 'non-english' NetBook. Since I can get a english =
NetBook too, I would like to hear if that would be the better choice.

Best Regards from Saarbruecken/Germany
